Strength in problem-based learning, community-based education

The area of strength for this Faculty is Problem-Based Learning and Community-Based Education. This was one of the commendations by the Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC) when the Institutional Audit was conducted at this university in April 2011.

Community-Based Education has made us focus on the health needs of the people we serve, especially the disadvantaged. Focusing on the health needs of the community has made us to be seen by the whole world as being one of leading Faculties in Socially Accountable Health Professions Education globally.
